Z790 ATX motherboard for LGA 1700

The MSI MPG Z790 EDGE TI MAX WIFI is an ATX board built around the Intel Z790 chipset for LGA 1700 processors. It accepts 12th, 13th and 14th generation Core CPUs as well as Pentium Gold and Celeron chips. Four 288-pin DDR5 slots provide dual-channel memory up to 192 GB.

DDR5 capacity and overclocking headroom

The board supports JEDEC speeds from 4800 MHz to 5600 MHz and XMP 3.0 profiles reaching 7800+ MHz with a single-rank DIMM per channel. Populating all four slots reduces the practical ceiling to 5600+ MHz for dual-rank kits. Five M.2 sockets and eight SATA 6Gb/s ports give ample room for NVMe and SATA storage arrays.

Thermals, noise and power delivery

A 16+1+1 mirrored power arrangement with dual 8-pin CPU connectors feeds the socket under heavy loads. Enlarged heatsinks, a heat-pipe, 7 W/mK MOSFET pads, choke pads and M.2 Shield Frozr covers dissipate heat without active cooling. The 2.5 Gbps LAN and Wi-Fi 7 controller add negligible thermal load during typical workloads.

Questions about this item

Will my existing LGA 1700 CPU cooler fit the 16+1+1 mirrored power arrangement around the socket?

The board uses the standard LGA 1700 mounting holes, so any cooler rated for that socket will clear the VRM heatsinks.

How can I confirm the Realtek ALC4080 codec is running at 32-bit depth after I install the drivers?

In Windows Sound settings open the device properties, go to the Advanced tab, and check that the default format shows 32 bit.

Does the box include mounting screws for all five M.2 slots or do I need to buy extras for the additional drives?

The package supplies M.2 screws for each of the five slots, so no separate fastener kit is required.
